| Apr 12, 2017 at 3:51 | comment | added | Evan | I have to ask - why are you using an external drive for your steam library and what kind of drive and interface are you using? Laptop or PC? (Just because I'm curious) | |
| Apr 12, 2017 at 3:04 | comment | added | idn | @Ramhound I was thinking of something like having a shortcut on a NTFS drive that would point to the exFat drive and somehow make it appear as system address. Something similar to RAM disk that OS thinks it's a drive but it's actually RAM. | |

| Apr 12, 2017 at 1:46 | comment | added | idn | @Ramhound They are not reliable. Failed on me once. Not gonna go that road again. | |
| Apr 12, 2017 at 1:32 | comment | added | Frank | This seems less to do with Steam and more with operating systems. You don't meet the requirements; that's all there is to it. | |
